Sixaxis Enabler

About this app

NO ROOT, NO PAIRING. Enable supported devices to use wired PS3 DualShock 3/Sixaxis Controller natively. All you need is an Android device with USB-Host support, and connection cable (USB-OTG cable is needed for device with no built-in USB Host port). You can avoid the need of rooting, and skip the hassle of pairing the controller when switching between devices.

After the controller is enabled you can use it with games and mapping tools which support native controller.

NOT ALL DEVICES AND AFTERMARKET CONTROLLERS ARE SUPPORTED, AND ONLY WORK WHEN CABLE IS CONNECTED. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE BAD COMMENT IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED.

If it is working with your device please share the information in comments, otherwise please get a refund and report to [e-mail].


Common Problem
1. The #1 reason for failure is an incorrect/incompatible cable, if the app cannot detect the controller please go through the troubleshooting section.
2. Another common problem is insufficient power provided by the device, in this case an external powered USB Hub is needed.
3. Finally, incompatibility mainly come from lacking Sixaxis support from Firmware, in this case only the device manufacturer can fix the problem through Firmware update.


General Troubleshooting Tips
1. make sure your PS3 controller is working with the USB cable properly, when plugging into a PC, windows should detect and add it as new gamepad although windows won't response to button press.
2. make sure your OTG cable is working with your device, test with an USB keyboard/mouse if possible
3. make sure nearby PS3 (or any other devices you have paired with the controller) is powered off, otherwise the controller may try to connect with those device through Bluetooth instead.
4. if you have ever installed any other apps which can work with PS3 controller directly, you may need to uninstall them.

Ratings and reviews

If you don't want poor feedback, try adding more pertinent information into you product and app store page. I downloaded the compatibility testing app and woohoo, apparently all was compatible...except it isn't and you don't discover that until you buy the main app. Firmware lacks sixaxis support! Great, where can I google more information about that...err, no where! The new CoD Android app by Activision won't work with Sixaxis because, not surprisingly, it want's a proper Bluetooth connected device to connect the app to. The PS3 controller refuses to connect to the Bluetooth, despite using 0000 or 1234, and all that is left is to play apps using the OTG cable...except for the fact that oh opps, you can't play CoD using the OTG cable. Thoroughly disappointed at the waste of time and money spent on buying cables and an app, yet still I have to use Android screen controls to play the game. People aren't mind readers! Perhaps in future you will provide some addition and useful info up front!!!!!!

Works fine for Huawei P10 Plus as per the app description. The clear instruction explained how to troubleshoot and for me took three app restarts before all the buttons working and all the error messages including some posted here were able to be overcome. The caveat to note is that the functions of the A and X buttons and those of B and Y were reversed when playing GTA VC android. A shame this app doesn't have an option to remap also, but 5 starts because it worked exactly as described.

I use this app to connect the PS3 controller to my Honor 9 lite. The left stick (L3) is working fine. However, the rest of the other button are not working. I have followed the troubleshooting guide and restart the app a few times but with no results. Any suggestions?
